if KC were to acquire a good pitcher, we would essentially be replacing Paulino. If we acquired another, we'd essentially be replacing Duffy... so we're back to square one at that point.. why give up prospects where even if we were to acquire 2 Major league ready starting pitchers, we'd still be short on starting pitching. Don't give up the future... cause in 2 more months this bullpen is going to start to break down and we'll be long out of the race. KC needs to add at the very least THREE Good Starting Pitchers to even think about contending - that ain't a happenin'.
